I managed to donate a few patches over the years. But the whole ceremony with a PR around a fix is just too much. It takes more time than I have free.
I have a minor error fix sitting on my computer for over month now. No time to get it merged.
Most of it revolves around how bad the housing situation is.
Partial documentation combined with complex code will be great for your bank account.
Code fast, and badly, always under promise and over deliver. Before the shit hits the fan, move to another place.
Next person after you will take the blame. You may be hired again at premium as you can deliver. Blame the replacement Dev for breaking the code and causing a lot of damage.
Fix the little that is possible, at premium rate and move on.
I enjoy hiking and bake at home, both maybe cause dust like matter to destroy a very expensive device.
A foldable costs more than my laptop and tablet combined. While being less resilient and less capable.
I'm not going to pay premium for a device that will break if it get exposed to dust.
I will pay premium for durability, fixability, modularity and for gnu/Linux that mobile device that can interface with android apps that society forces me to use.
After the shit they pulled with the Nokia 9 PureView, how can someone bet money on their crap?
The newly freed 40+GB are a nice bonus.
Water were already privated in parts of the world. The s tag doesn't work here.
Maybe oxygen, for now.
Fuck who ever thought about the term 'underconsumption'. WTF.
I don't see a reduced number of CS students that enjoy poking around. I see an increase in the number of students that are there only for the good salary. Making the poking type into a smaller percentage.
I have two professors that I have strong memory of.
The first thought classes that she was not qualified to teach. Using methods outside her narrow window of understanding hurt your score. She set a rule that if you ask for her to recheck a question on the final you will lose 20 points. On my final I had a minus 20 because she doesn't understand powers of 2.
The second is brilliant but very absent minded. Gave us a badly worded question. It was meant to be a very hard question and I didn't know the subject well enough to solve it. Used mathematical logic to prove he didn't ask what he thought he was asking. And solved the very easy question he actually asked.
He gave me a perfect score and a job.
Following the flow chart I came to the conclusion that plastic dinosaurs are real dinosaurs.
Chickens for KFS baks that no one will bak back at them.
Simple text editor. To create failing test by hand, closing in on a bug in the code.
Now run a VM from Google Cloud on a system booted from Google Cloud.
Bioinformatics isn't used only for medical research or within big companies. Sub-topics like metagenomics, that are helpful in many areas of research, require high level of technical knowledge, that the life science people don't have.
You can work in bioinformatics, the pay is lower than FAANG, but your code will benefit society.
They are not limiting their foot print to 1/4 acre. They are using bikes, using glass and forge the forest.
It's like offloading your aluminum production to another country and claiming you are living 100% on renewable.
